If you're creating an interest group in hopes of bringing someone else to campus, that's one thing, but ascribing Greek letters to your college and making a paddle (which I presume you might hang on your wall in your dorm?) because you crave the appearance of a Greek title? You're bigger than that.

Please, allow yourself to grieve, and then move on. There are 200 clubs at your school. There are also community events, dozens of charitable organizations, and all sorts of routes to find friendship and camaraderie. Even if you were a new member of a sorority, it's still just as difficult and scary making friends. Bonds are made through shared experiences.

Who says that you can't talk to the person you met in line at the food court and plan a social activity? Create an event that would attract the type of people you want to get to know. It could be a charity event, it could be apple-picking, zip-lining or hiking, going to see a local band, whatever you want.

I know that it's not easy to "just move on," but you have so many options. Good luck!



Sorry, I just saw this after posting my last message, but...gosh, I don't have words.

Did I offend you?
